War star Hrithik Roshan says work will soon begin on the fourth installment of Krrish, his superhit superhero franchise.
The first film, Koi... Mil Gaya, directed by the actor's father, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, released in 2003. It was followed by Krrish in 2006 and Krrish 3 in 2013. In 2017, Hrithik Roshan decided to revive the superhit franchise.
The Super 30 actor said he is curious about taking forward the series, which was put on the back-burner owing to his father's ill health. In January, Rakesh Roshan was diagnosed with early stage squamous cell carcinoma of the throat.
“Right after War, I am going to sit with my father, get everyone together and restart work on Krrish 4. We had put it a little on the side because dad was recovering. Now that he is better, we will kick-start it once more,”
Speculations are rife that the Hrithik's next film will be a remake of Amitabh Bachchan's 1982 superhit Satte Pe Satta. The actor earlier featured in the 2012 remake of Big B's Agneepath.
“Agneepath is dear to me. It was a tough one but it worked out. Satte Pe Satta is something I am considering but it is not official,”

Happy New Year filmmaker Farah Khan is set to helm the Satte Pe Satta remake, which will be produced by Rohit Shetty.
The 1982 film, directed by Raj Sippy, was adapted from the American musical, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. The film featured Amitabh as the eldest of seven brothers living on a farm, with Hema Malini as the female lead.
Hrithik’s latest, the action thriller War, is currently breaking records at the box office. The film also stars Tiger Shroff and released on 2 October.
